Well for one. Kevlar clutches need to broken in a lot more gentle in the range of 1000miles, if not the failure rate is higher. If you ask it too hold too much torque you will get slippage. Which will burn the clutch. Organic will revert back to its original shape, kevlar won't. In terms of drivability you really can't feather a kevlar clutch as well. I think most people wont look at what the clutch is made of rather than what stage it is.

So yes once glazed the clutch will have some permanent damage, to what extent it varies.

Thanks for the info. I was leaning CC Stage 2, but I don't think it'll be enough when I go turbo again next year. And I'm NOT doing a third clutch. So, I just ordered the ACT HD SS.

You will not be disappointed. I have that with a 11.5lb flywheel and it drives like stock.
